OpenLDAP Docker Experiment

Bootstrap/experiment project for exploring OpenLDAP with Docker.

Using Docker Hub Image

Pull and run the pre-built image directly from Docker Hub:

Pull Image

docker pull adiadev/simple-openldap:latest

You can find the image on Docker Hub: adiadev/simple-openldap

Run

docker run -d \
    -p 389:389 \
    -p 636:636 \
    --name simple-openldap \
    adiadev/simple-openldap:latest

Specify environment variables with -e option if needed:

docker run -d \
    -p 389:389 \
    -p 636:636 \
    --name simple-openldap \
    -e SLAPD_ROOT_PASSWORD=yourpassword \
    -e SLAPD_DOMAIN=yourdomain \
    -e SLAPD_ORGANIZATION=yourorganization \
    adiadev/simple-openldap:latest

Building From Dockerfile

Build

docker build -t simple-openldap .

Run

docker run -d -p 389:389 -p 636:636 --name simple-openldap simple-openldap

Docker Compose

docker-compose up -d

Access LDAP Server

• LDAP: ldap://localhost:389
• LDAPS: ldaps://localhost:636

The docker compose file contains a phpLDAPadmin service that you can use to access the LDAP server. You can access it at https://localhost:6443.

To login, use the following credentials:

Login DN: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
Password: yourpassword

Make sure to replace yourpassword with the actual password you set for the SLAPD_ROOT_PASSWORD environment variable and example.com with the domain you set for the SLAPD_DOMAIN environment variable.

Configuration

Customize using environment variables (SLAPD_ROOT_PASSWORD, SLAPD_DOMAIN, etc.).

Future Plans

• Add LDAP replication
• Add SASL
• Implement SSL/TLS
• Backend for Kerberos
• Seed big loads of data
